SO MANY QUESTIONS! How about some answers?

[Dick_Castlesmurff]

Besides the 35 inch tires, what would the Sasquatch package add to the Badlands trim package?

Another question I have is what's the point of the different GOAT modes if you have the 7-speed manual?

My ideal package might be: V6, 7speed, Sasquatch, with no GOAT modes (because why?)

A lift, although the language around the Badlands package is vague enough that it could have its own lift.

Hopefully you're right, and Maybe as ford hears the wants of buyers they will change a few options. The Bronco I will be configuring will be well over 50 grand, I don't think I should have buy carpet as a accessory, then rip out my interior to install carpeting.

It would be dealer installed I’m sure. For what it’s worth I want exactly the same thing as you so we’re in the same boat.

The BD has 4.46 gears for the MT and the Badlands has 4.70. I’d love to get 4.70s on the BD as an option.

That’s what the squatch package does. 4.70s across the board. Part of the upsell. They’ve already given so much more than fca does with Jeep, gotta hold something back for the premiums.

My guess on the lack of manual with the 2.7 is for 2 reasons.

First, is that the 2.7 gets really close the the torque rating on the 7 speed (which is only rated so low because of the crawl gear, manual gearsets just aren't as strong as similar planetary gear sets). Ford knows people are going to tune these things (and may offer some tunes that allow you to keep warranty) so it's in their interest to make it in only reliable configurations.

Second, the 2.7 is only sold with auto transmissions in other applications, so they would have the change the supply lines and adjust the design of the 2.7 to work well with a manual, whereas the 2.3 has been available with both manual and auto since it's introduction.

Yeah, but the badlands has the 4.70 for the MT without adding the squatch package. Would be nice to have that as an option for the BD.

Definitely for the 2 door, not having enough info on the modular top (3 piece? 5 piece?)
And also, rear cargo... From what I've seen, the back seats don't fold flat. And with enough space for just a cooler with them up, without proper food down seats, what's the point?

Do you think without carpet there will be a lot more noise? I am going to daily this thing, and would love rubber floors so I can clean out sand easily, but if its going to be louder Id rather deal with having to clean the car out

Maybe it'll be quieter!

Yup, the lack of concrete details has pushed me to waiting on reserving until the build tool or more reliable info is out.

Rumour has it, reservations now will likely get your delivery pushed back until 2022

Oh well. I’d rather know exactly what my options are. If I have to I’ll hunt for something at a dealership and travel for it.

There are subtle differences. BD has 4.46 on the Manual and the Badlands has 4.7. Auto is same on both.

Thank you. Not sure that gearing difference is going to make a significant difference going from a 32 to 33 inch tire. Those with engineering minds/more experience please chime in.

You will be able to get carpet as an option on the Badlands trim.

How about rubber floors as an option on a base trim?

I second this, have no use for carpet. Give me something I can clean easy. Even the vinyl(?) in my 87 was worlds better than carpet, it is an offroad vehicle after all

Anyone know weight difference between 2 door and 4door?

Right? Basically every Ford Truck when you get the base model you get the vinyl. I'm assuming no vinyl on the current Ranger either though.
